Dark red with black fruit aromas and spicy notes. On the palate simple fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry with pepper spice and notes of cacao. Fine tannins, medium finish, lively acidity. Tasting Sample.

Dark cherry and rhubarb... some acid saves this wine. Ultimately not much notable here... Kyle is spot on.

Dark ruby, almost no transparency, ripe plum on the nose with a bit of leather. The pallet is medium bodied with nice acidity and a bit of tartness. Same ripe plum pallet with a finish of ripe tannins and a hint of raspberry. Great wine.

Polished, firm but friendly structure. Rich fruit and high acid makes superb balance

Good, soft and vibrant with big purple fruit. Finish like a thin mint.. Ultimately unmemorable for the price, typical barbera though.
